Re: [oopic] Re: USB cable Error 2 - expected v received V

Hmm,

If it isn't the Wedgie and your battery is good then as long as you
ooPIC R is good it means that your serial connection is not working.
Try connecting pins 2 and 3 on your serial cable together and use a
terminal emulator (Hyperterm, Teraterm, whatever) and type on it to see
that the characters are echoed to the screen, if they are not then debug
your serial port connection. If they are echoed then your ooPIC is
broken in some fashion. Is the little LED near the DB9 connector on the
ooPIC glowing dimly? If it is not then your ooPIC is not running at all
and something is wrong with your board.
